National Dog Photography Day is an enjoyable day that encourages everyone to showcase the bond they share with their dog.

Take your camera or smartphone and turn your pets into your models.

July 15 Declared National Pet Fire Safety Day to Help Protect Pets from Home Fires.

“One of the hallmarks of responsible dog ownership is keeping pets safe and planning for unexpected emergencies, including house fires,” said AKC spokesperson Lisa Peterson. “Pet proofing the home, developing pet-friendly escape routes and alerting rescuers of your pets presence with ‘window clings’ is the best way to keep your four-legged family member from harm.”

To help reduce the estimated 500,000 pets affected by home fires each year, The American Kennel Club and ADT Security Services today launched the inaugural “National Pet Fire Safety Day.” This nationwide awareness day educates pet owners about potential risks when pets are left home alone and pr...

If you think that your pet might benefit from some additional support to help keep them calm during the fireworks then this is the time to discuss it with us and get them started. 4th of July is the #1 holiday that pet's go missing due to running away to safety from the loud noises that fireworks create.

PLEASE SHARE: Friendly PSA from your regional veterinary medical center: PLEASE leave your dogs in the house as much as possible this week! In AC, in front of a fan, with plenty of water. Outside quickly only to go to the bathroom then back in. They don't need walks or the dog park this week. Trust us you don't want to see us on emergency when your dog is having heat stroke-they don't always do well, especially the smushy faces such as pugs and bulldogs! ☀️🔥☀️🔥

Soon may Wellerman come, as we'll introduce you to recall fun...

More training tips from our trainers daughter whom, at 5 years old, is working with her new puppy. Maintain consistency for your puppy by selecting one side for them to remain on during walks. By showing them the same picture every time you are leaving little room for error and also setting the tone for your expectations. She is reaching in her back pockets to reward with the treats she has brought with her. For him just his kibble works great as he is HIGHLY food motivated. You may need to Amp up the ante to a higher value reward depending on your own dog. BRING TREATS on walks! You can use food as a lure or to reward the behavior you WANT to see from your dog. What better way to increase a repeat performance? What you don't see here is her feeding the puppy on a busier road because the sound of traffic was making him worrisome. This in turn creates a more positive association with what was presumably "scary" to the puppy previously. She does the same for the sound of lawn mowers and leaf blowers or rather demands our trainer gives her more treats to offer her puppy because at 5 she already understands the value and importance of it. Stay tuned for more of what a child can teach their dog under proper guidance. We hope you enjoy this as much as we do! ❤️

She is 5 and she's a pro! Notice the leash is not wrapped around her wrist, which can be a risk of injury should the dog pull. Her length of leash is just enough that the puppy can walk with slack while at her side but can't venture too far ahead that will lead to disengaging with the handler. She's taught her puppy leash pressure and how to give into it without causing distress to the puppy so instead of objections he gives into it and goes with her. If the puppy stops to sniff something she's not being permissive to that instead she is implementing to him at a young age that he does not dictate where or how the walk will go, she just keeps walking and so he follows. She's taking her puppy to new places for exposure and to build his confidence during a CRUCIAL window of time that closes around 16 weeks. What takes place in a young puppies life during this time frame can set the pathway for the rest of their life. By being strategic about exercises and exposures, this is socializing her puppy. Socializing is observing all of the sights, sounds, smells. It's about a puppy that may be fearful in new environments or of new people to learn that not everyone is going to encroach on their personal space therefore teaching a puppy their fears are unawarrented and building not only confidence in the pup but also trust in his handler. It's not about every passersby saying hello to the puppy. Teaching the puppy to ignore people is equally as important. She selects a limited number of people she will allow to interact with the puppy and it is while following her rules set in place. The rules are not just for the puppy but also for the person. Yes! You should tell people how they can and cannot interact with your puppy. She's also our trainers daughter so it might be in her blood.
